I didn't see the OBC (I live on the West Coast so lol obviously I can't) BUT I DID SEE CHRIS JACKSON AND I'M SORRY BUT I THINK HE IS THE BEST EVER HIS VOICE IS LIKE BUTTER AND I JUST LOVE HIM. True facts, I went to NYC this past summer and decided to see the Broadway cast even though I saw the tour because I just wanted to see Chris Jackson and best decision of my life, really. But I liked a LOT of the tour cast better than the current Broadway cast then. I saw Arielle Jacobs on tour and I thought she was amazing but I know it's mostly new tour cast members now but I am so excited to see them and it's coming to a city nearby-ish this upcoming season AND I AM CRYING I LOVE THAT SHOW IT IS MY FAVORITE EVER IT JUST HAS SO MUCH HEART AND LIN IS A LOVELY HUMAN BEING AND I HATE THAT I NEVER SAW HIM.

OH BUT HOW WAS LEXI LAWSON AS VANESSA? I saw her as Mimi in Rent and I liked her a lot!
